The Fairy opera.

Mrs. Chas. Benton, the indefatigable
manageress of the juvenile production
of the fairy operetta of Cinderella, re-
ports that the most gratifying success
has attended her efforts. Quite host
of pretty little girls, boys and misses as
sembled at the opera house yesterday to
participate in the various dances,
marches, songs, etc., with which the
be autiful children's play is filled. The
next peeting will be on Tuesday from 10
until l2 o'clock. 1t is expected that the
majority of the 500 children wanted for
the double cast will soon be selected. The
production promises to be brilliant
success, and certainly not more Charm
ing bevy of juvenile beauties could be
wished for than those already entered
on the Benton classes. Mrs. Benton
considers the Los Angeles local material
superior in looks and intelligence even
to that of San Francisco, where this en-.
tertainment recently ran for several
weeks to packed houses. In fact, the
embryo actors and vocalists quite
eclipsed the professionals in their draw
ing powers. Over 1900 handsome cos.
tunes are provided by the management
for the pigmy Langtrys and Booths to
select from.

Their Unsuccessful Attempt U"
Hob George McLatn.

HIGHWAY robberies are becoming so
numerous in this city that 1t is rather
unsafe to wander around town, even on
the principal streets, late at night Dur
ING The past week several attempts have
been made and numerous people have
been "stood up" but the desperadoes
failed in each case to secure any plum

police force. Last evening another at
iemnt was made to rob one OF our well.

and most public street corners III the
city. Early in the evening George NC.
Lain. while seated at the box ONCE at
Hazards Pavilion taking in the cash tor
the select seats at the Japanese troupe
matinee. a man prowled around the
window and casting numerous adihifinB
glances upon the stock OF dollars which
he was carefully guarding. When the
show was over McLain placed the money
amounting to several hundred dollars ID
a tin box. which he took with him. He
boarded q street. car, and as his suspi.
cions were strongly aroused, he looked
around for the man who had been watch
ing him e,rlier in the evening, lie
failed to see him, however, and when ne
reached his office on Market street he
aliphted. As he was entering his ofhce
he observed the fellow and also noticed
that he had confederate with him. lie
placed the cash box in the safe and then
telephoned to the office of the Chief OF
Police, requesting that an oficer meet
him Immediately at the corner OF Spring
and Market streets. tie then
walked over to the corner lndl-
Gated, closely followed by the
two men. When he arrived
at the crossing one of the footpads
grabbed him by the throat, but quickly
released his hold, when he received two
powerful blows from McLain. The two
separated aud ran in oppo..
site directions. Mr.. McLain followed
one of them, who travelled like y deer
down Main street. At the intersection OF
street McLain fell head over |
heels and when he recovered himself the
ruffian had gained such headway that
he gave up the chase.
Officer Collins appeared upon the
scene, but too late to lend any assistance.
He started out upon his call but knew
nothing concerning his errand and
hence the footpads escaped.

SIC TRANSIT.
Another Old Mission Church 10
FaII Before the March OF
Progress.

The Geo. X. Porter ranch at San Fer
nando was sold yesterday to q big syn
dictate, which has been incorporated un'
der the name of Porter Land and water
Company, whose office is in the Los
Angeles National Bank building at First
and Spring streets. This properly con-
tains about 10000 acres Of land and as
it has always been considered such
valuable tract and has such an interest
ing history few lines about it might
prove interesting, especially TO tnat
class of persons who hunger after the
old and, we might say, the romantic.
Long before California became State
of the Union the Franciscan Fathers IN
that spirit of pioneering with the gospel,
for which the servants of the church OF
home have been so celebrated. came to
this country to convert the Indians
who roamed over these wild lands
Tbey seemed to be versed in all that
knowledge which enables men to Judge
of the best lands, and at the same time
they had a quick and accurate eye for
the picturesque; for all their missions
were established in the most fertile as
well as the most romantic spots they
could find. As proof of this we refer. to
all the old mission sites-Los Angeles,
San Gabriel, Santa Barbara, San Fer
naudo and Others. These Franciscan
Fathers in the northern march from
Mexico up the coast, 6rst established
the original San Gabriel, which, by the
way, has given place to the present
mission in that valley. Then they went
to San Fernando and planted mission
and founded colony upon the Porter
ranch, which numbered at one time
more than 5000 souls. Most all of these
old buildings are fast falling to pieces.
They cannot stand more than score or
two Of years and many of the people
who read this article to-day will live to
see San Fernando Mission a mission no
more, but upon the site thereof modern
city may be erected.
We, of course, do not know what the
Porter Land and Water Company pro-
pose to do with the old ranch and the
old mission buildings; but we see that
they have subdivided it and advertised
it for sale. We trust, however, that the |
old ruins may not be disturbed, for they
are historical, indeed, aud are situated
in valley that will bring high prices,
not only because of the great merit OF
the land but also because of the peculiar |
interest that attaches to all these old
landmarks of the transition OF California
from savage life to civilization.
